The ability to stop time and still interact with the world. Do you know how many books I have on my TBR?
Ok, but you still can age? so imagine being much older than your peers, they'll think you're sick ...lol
Hey......TommmmmmHOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU???
What?
You were 25 about 30 minutes ago.......now you look 92. What the fuck.....
Oh, yeah. That. I was just, ya know......jackin it.
Jesus Tom!!! How hard did you nut???!!!!
Wouldn't you still age if you're operating outside of stopped time? People are going to think that you're suddenly aging rapidly.
Please don’t poke holes into my fantasy.
Haha! Fair enough. It's your fantasy, so you determine the physics of it.
I wouldn't care. I'd walk out into the world to go see stuff and maybe change some things. I wouldn't stay still or build a life with those powers.
Otherwise, you could look at Howard families by Heinlein for the solution. Which is also to move before people notice, but staying put for periods of time at a time.
Time stop can also be used for bad things like r**e and murder
I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That's where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.
With great power must come great responsibility
